Breakfast was not as good as what we get in other hotels. The hockey puck eggs were not good and we saw something that might have been sausage, but didn’t try it. Could have just been a bad day for someone. The elevator didn’t work (and had a sign), but it would travel to the floor, preventing the working elevator from coming up. That was frustrating. The place wasn’t full, but they put us next to an occupied room. So instead of a really quiet night, we got to enjoy someone else coming and going all the time. Loved the fact that there was a tub. Not a bad experience, but it could have been better.

We loved the property with the exception of the overwhelmingly bad odor associated with pets being in the room previously. Unfortunately, despite the room being nice and meeting our needs for space, the pet smell was unbearable and we are not able to consider returning to the property.

We stopped on our way heading south. It was a nice room. Had plenty of space to spread after a long day in the car. Did not use any of the facilities, but they were available. My only suggestion would be to have a better coffee selection for you. Their coffee kinda sucks. I like cleanliness and this place passes my test. I would stay here again.
